I for one, am deeply concerned that Camp Ripley National Guard soldiers were recently allowed entry to every public school in Little Falls, Minnesota, under the guise of "community service." Now I have no problem with the guard members helping out at the thrift store, the senior center, and other areas they went to this past Thursday, but I strongly object to their being allowed into our middle and elementary schools to impression and influence them at such an early age. This is just another attempt to indoctrinate/brainwash our local kids. I believe this was done in conjunction with the program titled Mission:Readiness. I sincerely hope that when a peace group wishes to do the same type of thing, that they are allowed to provide the necessary balance. In other words, kids should be allowed to dream about other career options than the military. Our students should be shown that it is equally important to work towards peace and social justice.
Here is the Morrison County Record article about the soldiers activity on Thursday.

Here's the proof Littlefallsians, right from the horses mouth, that Camp Ripley uses their "family or open house community appreciation days" as a recruitment tool.
